My name is "takaram".
I am a newcomer to Teacher Vanessa's Blogging English Club, and it was just at this moment
that I was able to access the blog over here for the first time as a newcomer.

I have been a long distance learner of EFI from Yokohama, Japan since January, 2001.
Although I will be 80 years old next year, I am glad to say that I am hale and hearty for my age
thanks to my exercising efforts of swimming three times a week in a public pool here in this
city. It is a pity to me that I have no other hobbies in particular worthy of its name.

My major subject was at a university was English and my graduation thesis was "Gerund
preceded by Substantives." I primarily wanted to have become an English teacher at a Senior
High School, to start with, after the commencement.

As a matter of fact, however, I began my career as an employee of one of the so-called
"Sougou shousha" in Japanese, or "General Trading Houses." In the meantime, I was assigned
to a post abroad three times while I was working for the company - Rangoon, Burma (Yangon,
Myanmar), Dacca, East Pakistan (Dhaka, Bangladesh) and Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago
in the Caribbean Sea.

I have been studying English for more than half a century so far.
As for the level in question, my mother tongue is Japanese, and accordingly I feel inclined to
evaluate my writing, reading, speaking and hearing knowledge of English to be so so.

Last but not least, as regards my learning goal, I wish I could write on, in due course, what I
have experienced during my assignment to the oversea offices of the company.

According to the weather forecast, a typoon threathens. It seems to be large, violent and windy as usual. It is a headche to us Japanse, as they appear one after another at this time of the year every year. I hope they may behave themselves all the time.

In the meantime, with further reference to your e-mail of 17th inst. , yes, my PC is VALUESTAR Mate J
from NEC. She does very good jobs, and listens to me. Without her, I can't lead a daily life these days.
I place an order, and make a payment by her support in my daily life.

Thank you for your e-mail message, I am glad to hear that everything is going in fine shape with you and me as well. The reason is that I was afraid I lost my bearings without any e-mail messege from you for the time being. Most probably I am to be blamed. Because it may be ascribable to the fact that I did not specifically
provide "PLN" in the box "Label" on my right hand side of the blog. I hope that my posts from now onwards
will appear on the right place much faster than before. I am sorry that I caused you so much inconvenience.
This is all for today, thank you.
Regards.
Takaram.
